Billboard Memorializing Mandela Accidentally Uses Pic of Morgan Freeman

An Indian billboard dedicated to the memory of Nelson
Mandela accidentally used a photograph of actor Morgan
Freeman instead. Freeman played Mandela in the 2009 film
Invictus , but the two are not, in fact, the same person (SEE
PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE ABOVE)—one of them being the
deceased former leader of South Africa, and the other one just
being a completely different guy. Um. Oops.

An Indian billboard mourning Nelson Mandela's death has
been put up in India, but a photo of actor Morgan
Freeman has been mistakenly used.
The memorial to Mandela was placed in the city of
Coimbatore by the side of a road.
'We should be proud that we were part of an era when
they lived,' read the condolence message on the board in
Tamil.

This reminds me of my 9th grade history class, when every
week Mr. Anderson would put up five photos of significant
historical figures/world leaders, and if you could identify all of
them you got extra credit. One time he put up an easy one—
Gandhi —and everyone was all smug, like, "Nailed it!" and then
Mr. Anderson was all, "LOLZ, BITCHEZ! EVERYONE GETS A
ZERO." Because it was actually Ben Kingsley in the movie Gandhi.
To this day I am simultaneously resentful, embarrassed, and
impressed with Mr. Anderson's troll-craft.
